CHARLES LAVIOLETTE Oak Street Franklin, Mass. Charlie” Music’s Slave Music is Charlie’s talent. His skill in playing the clarinet and saxo¬ phone, and in singing, has made him invaluable as a member of the band and orchestra. The jazz band of which he is a member played at many school socials and was liked and appreciated by all the students. Charlie also has a sense of humor which was probably more applauded by the students than by the teachers. Charlie’s interest in music urged him to continue in that line. Good luck, Charles. Track 1-2, Orchestra 1-2, Band 1-2-3-4, Junior Prom Committee 3- DOROTHY LINDFELT Pond Street Franklin, Mass. Dot’’ Her face is fair, her heart is true. Ever since entering our class Dorothy has been one of our most popu¬ lar and most respected girls. She was always glad to take part in any class activity, which made her very busy. Studying seemed to come natural to Dot, so she found it quite easy to do her class work and get good marks. Although her day’s program was usually a full one, she always seemed to find time for a certain young man in the class. In case you don’t know already, it was our presiding officer. What a lucky fellow he is. As long as Dot lives up to her noble Franklin High record, she will master any obstacle she may meet in future days, and her life will be a worth while one. Marshal 2-3-4, Dramatics, Basket Ball 2-3, Junior Treasurer. ARMANDO ALEXANDER LOMBARDI 71 North Park Street Franklin, Mass. Butch Baron” Al Music washes away from the soul the dust of every day life. Some day when you’re listening to your favorite orchestra over the radio-—concentrate on the tenor sax—it ' s the Baron!,—for he’s made good in his chosen profession. F.H.S. will surely go on the rocks with¬ out its star sign printer and athletic promotor. Watch out for those bets, Butch—you may not always be as lucky in the future as you have been in the past. In fact, we hope not! Football 1-2-3-4, Band 2-3, Oskey Staff 4, Baseball 2-3-4, Marshal 2-3-4, Basket Ball Manager 4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Freshman Acquaintance Party Committee 4. RAYMOND LOUGEE Union Street Franklin, Mass. Ray Ca-pable of great things. If you are walking down a corridor in F.H.S. and you hear a loud guffaw, then Ray is somewhere within the radius of a mile or so. Ray is one of the few who stuck to math for four years, but not in vain. He was another valuable member of the band, and contributed much to its success. Also he was in the orchestra, and in that organization he labored diligently under Mr. Webber ' s direction for four years. Ray is the type of person who will consider both sides of the question carefully before he sets forth his viewpoints. Because of this fact and because of his broadmindedness, we are sure he will succeed.

RICHARD JACQUES West Central Street Franklin, Mass. “Dick” Wanna buy a brush! Introducing Dick Jacques, a quiet, unobtrusive fellow who, however, was quite capable of making noise when it was called for. Dick seemed to have a great deal of common sense, or shall we say will-power? For he was never seen in the company of the weaker sex. He didn’t par¬ ticipate in any outside activities but was active in class recitation. We do not know what Dick will do when he goes out into the big wide world, but anyway we can wish him luck, and hope he succeeds in selling his brush. HOMER C. JENEST 76 Dean Avenue Franklin, Mass. “Pete” “Jakie” Nice things are wrapped in small packages. Pete was small but he was certainly a big worry for all opposing basket ball teams, for during a game it seemed as though he were everywhere at once. Not only was he active in basket ball, but he proved himself a live wire when it came to entertainment, for he worked faithfully and worked well, and on several different committees. If Pete can succeed in selling real life insurance policies, as he did in selling false policies in school, he will be a great success. Out best wishes for success go with you, Homer. Basket Ball 2-3-4, Music 1-2-3-4, Prom Committee 4, Freshmen Acquaintance Party 4, Thanksgiving Dance 4, Marshal 3 4. YVONNE JOYAL 137 Peck Street Franklin, Mass. “Von” Serene and Re solute and Still and Calm and Self-possessed. “Watch those signals, Yvonne.” You can just bet Yvonne is on the job when there is a basket ball game in progress. Athletics are not all the things we like in her. We know she is a staunch friend, and that her calmness will always help us when we need it. In the classroom Yvonne is of the best. May she ever be of the best and so have those things she wants most in life. Varsity Basket Ball 1- 2-3-4, Commercial Club 3, Marshal 4. JOSEPH LANDRY Metcalf Street Franklin, Mass. “Joe” I will be prepared and my chance will come. When we speak of that alert business-like boy, we are referring to Joe. Always up on the latest news, especially that concerning politics, he was nearly as interesting to listen to as Lowell Thomas. People say there isn’t and never will be an honest politician. Well, if Joe ever decides to enter politics, which isn’t impossible, this statement will be all wrong. Many have wondered why Joe knows so much about shoestrings, corsets, paint, and such articles. The fact that he works in J. J. Newberry ' s store after school probably explains this. Keep up the good work, Joe, and you will be rewarded. Baseball 2, Marshall 1-2-3-4. 26

DORA BLACKLAWS MacFARLANE 26 Mechanic Street Bellingham, Mass. “Mac” “Scottie” “Billie” Wit and wisdom go hand in hand.” A wee, bonnie lassie from the Bellingham Highlands is Dora. You find her always bubbling over with joy. Not only is she disconcertingly pretty, but she is exceptionally bright—a very rare combination. Dora takes an exceedingly long time to “catch on” when someone tells a joke, but when she does, that person is rewarded by her merry laugh. Dora took many things seriously, but it was the sunny side of her nature that drew the hearts of everyone toward her. We don’t know what you intend to do in the future, Dora, but whatever it is, we feel sure you will succeed. Freshmen Acquaintance, Refreshment Committee 2, Dramatic Club 4, Editorial Committee, Oskey 4, Commercial Club 3- CHARLOTTE MacKENZIE 184 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “Mac” To sing, to laugh, to dream. To walk in My Own way. She is indeed a popular girl. With her grace and lithness of body she is never without a partner at the socials. A very capable marshal is she, who never more than once had to speak to those who disobeyed. As a cheer leader she surely knew how to wave her arms and yodel good old Franklin cheers. Mac intends to take up Physiotherapy. May success be yours, Mac. We are sure you will succeed. Music 1, Hockey 1-2-3-4, Student Council, Manager Basket Ball Team 4, Dramatics 4, Junior Prom 3, Track Cheerleader. JOHN MACONI Union Street Franklin, Mass. “Johnnie” And today I leave old Franklin High, and who ' s to take my place! ' ' John was one of the more popular fellows of our class (especially with the girls). While in the Franklin High School he became well acquainted with its stage. His acting of the many different characters will long be remembered by all. Johnnie is also good-natured and enjoys humor. Remember how well Johnnie always got along with his teachers, especially Doc? John cannot decide whether to continue as an actor or take up areonautical engineering. Anyway whichever course you take, Johnnie, we wish you success. President Dramatic Club 4, Football 3 4, Marshal 1-2-3-4, Junior Prom Committee, Interclass Basket Ball. RUTH MALKEMUS 80 Union Street Franklin, Mass. “Queenie” Her face is fair. Her heart is true. “Beautiful Girl, you’re a lovely picture.” That ' s one song that applies to Ruth and it certainly is appropriate. Everything she did was gracefully and charmingly done. She seemed rather reserved out¬ wardly, but she was very friendly and amusing when one really knew her. Her love for the beautiful was shown in the pictures she drew and in the inspiring music she played. Remember how her music made us float on clouds of ecstasy and contentment? When you are acclaimed “America’s Greatest Pianist,” please don’t forget us, Ruth. Glee Club, 1-2-3-4, Art Committeejunior Prom 3, Orchestra 1-2-3-4, Assistant Business Manager, Oskey, Dramatics 4. 28
